Ok, I might as well go first: I wish I could draw. Not at the level where I could make photorealistic portraits, but I’ve always been envious of those who are able to scetch something together in a few minutes that perfectly captures what they want to convey. Sometimes words aren’t enough to express what I want to say, and for those situations I would love to have a simple drawing do the talking for me.

    Motivate myself.

    It’s weird. I go to work, I’ll get the job done. Something comes in my inbox that shit is covered.

    I’ve been home for 3 hours now, and this is the most I’ve done tonight since I got home. Not even video games. Fuck haven’t gotten chores done. What the hell is that skill that I have at work that I don’t have at home?

      My guess would be the sense of fulfilment.

      At work you have a purpose, and so you fulfil it.

      At home, to motivate myself to do the chores, is to find a rationale for it to be done.

      • Laundry? So I can wear them to work / be ready to look nice when going out.
      • Dishes? So I can have nice big servings of meals and be able to cook.
      • Cleaning? So I can enjoy a nice, cleaned house without getting dirty when I walk around (walking barefoot inside is a good indicator when to clean)

      Etc. Etc. Plus it helps to enforce the thought that I’m “adulting”, like the kid in me and others would say.
